Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo used to get on well

The row was sparked after brilliant Tottenham scorched Madrid at Wembley.

Ron – who rarely stops for free media interviews – had a dig at the current squad for getting hammered by Spurs.

When asked to compare the current squad with last season’s, he said: “You cannot say that this one is worse but perhaps it has less experience, and we all know how important experience is in football.

“It’s not an excuse but obviously Pepe was a great player, and Morata and James too, all those players that have gone made us stronger.”

The mention of Ramos’ old defensive partner Pepe might have irked Ramos particularly – hinting that the backline is crumbling without the combative Portuguese.

And Ramos hit back by calling Ronaldo an opportunist by using the defeat to air his personal problems.

He said: “Everyone has their opinion but the comments appear to me to be a bit opportunist, because when we won the Super Cup earlier in the season we had the same players as now. I don’t miss anybody.”
